Girls Who Lie by Eva Björg Ægisdóttir

4.0

Dark and disturbing but exceedingly good. I must admit, the first part of this book was a bit of a slow burner for me and I did wonder if I was actually enjoying it. The backdrop of Iceland was strangely captivating, however, even if I was a little gutted I had no clue how to pronounce all of the beautiful looking names. The information is, in fact, slowly developing around you, almost without you noticing like some strangely creeping plant then suddenly you start to realise how convoluted and ingenious the story is. The tension and revelations then really start to mount to a brilliant crescendo and I honestly couldn’t put the book down until I’d squeezed out every last secret that had been so cleverly concealed. I’d definitely recommend this one, very satisfying.
